Description
java.lang.reflect.Field.get(), Field.get{primitive}() and java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke() have been updated to use the primitive wrapper classes' valueOf() (for example Integer.valueOf()) instead of always creating new wrappers with "new" (for example new Integer()) after the reflection libraries have (potentially) optimised the Field/Method instance. This can affect applications that depended on two wrappers being != while still being .equals().
